just convinced constituents to recall two Dems in CO. House GOPers refused to vote on any Gun laws after Sandy Hook where babies were eviscerated along with adults. Constant NRA bullshit about your 2nd Amendment being violated by the Government ya'know the government officials who are constantly taken away voting rights, civil rights, women rights, and don't you need a decent health-care program and of course only a certain Christian are cherished in God's eyes.

I truly believe that majority of the gun owners do want gun laws to help protect against people like Alexis but as long as there are Gopers in control of the house and God forbid if they take the senate, we are screwed.

At this point in time we need to "Stand Our Ground" for better gun laws.
